It looks great and Woodman is certainly wowed by it. I'm a fan of Fretton BUT, masterpiece? Obviously, we only have photos, but one thing that jumps out at me is a lack of formal resolution. It's a very bitty building, and all white exterir goes only some way to mitigating that. I think even Woodman's, commentary implies that the building perhaps lacks a presence of it's own. It's the great get out clause of much contemporary architecture, represent itself as simply 'responding' to extraneous stimluae. This means presence is never an issue. Perhaps in this setting though, the lack of resolution may be appropriate
